About This Book

An ethnographic study of the Bontoc highland people that combines geographic and physical description with systematic accounts of daily life, kinship, and household organization. It details economic activities, production, exchange, property systems, and trade, and describes political structures, crimes, conflict and headhunting practices alongside rites for birth, marriage, sickness, and death. Sections treat religion, ceremonial calendars, ritual specialists, aesthetics such as dress, tattooing, music, and dance, plus folk tales, origin myths, and measures of knowledge. Linguistic notes, comparative vocabularies, maps, photographs, and plates supplement somatology and analyses of mental and cultural life.
